I want to be able to implement parser combinators where the second parser parses only the input slice the previous parser has parsed. E.g. an
AndIs
implementation where the second parser is limited to the input the first parser has parsed.As I'm making changes that feel more to the core than my previous I wanted to ask if I'm on the right track implementation wise and if such functionality would be welcome.
I've added a (badly named) trait
Slice
that is aSliceInput
with the additional constraintSelf = SliceInput::Slice
. The use case is for parser combinators like the one described above so that both parser can have the same error type. Then there is thewith_subslice
function that limits the input inInputRef
for the passed closure to the passed range.
